Chapter 9: Lawsuits
We called the police.
The police soon came.
Homicides are usually big cases, so there are a lot of people coming from the police.
There are forensic examiners, trace examinations, and on-site investigations.
They also brought some professional tools, dismantled the wardrobes, and demolished the walls.
We were all at the scene, witnessed the whole process of tearing down the wall, and also saw the owner of the 'human form'.
It was a woman, I don't know how long she had been dead, but it had been a long time, because the body had turned into white bones, and because the long hair like dead grass was still there, the gender could be distinguished.
When the dried corpse was carried out, a rancid and unpleasant smell instantly filled the room.
I've never smelled anything so bad, and I can't even describe it.
And probably because of the cement, the clothes on this dried corpse have been preserved very intact.
After seeing the clothes worn by the dry corpse, Meng Yifan and I were all paralyzed in fright.
Long black dress with red high heels......
Isn't this exactly what the girl who knocked on the door was wearing?
"Gross-"
A few of us ran straight to the toilet and threw up.
The only toilet was rounded by the four of us, and one by one we went in and vomited.
Meng Yifan and I vomited the most, not only because we saw the appearance of the dried corpse and smelled the unpleasant smell.
What's more, the owner of the dried corpse has been dead for so many years, and we probably saw her last night......
A female corpse was excavated at the scene, and Mr. Hu was shocked and angry, and he was furious at the scene, scolding us all the time, saying that we lacked great virtue and sold such a fierce house to him.
He scolded him so much that he scolded our ancestors for eighteen generations, and even the police couldn't persuade him.
But to be honest, we were also wronged in this matter.
Because we didn't know anything had happened to this house, and we didn't expect that there was a corpse hiding in this house.
As an agent, we are only responsible for matching the seller with the buyer, although we have the obligation to inform, but the premise is that we know that something happened to the house.
In the end, Mr. Hu made a lot of trouble and alarmed the neighbors nearby, and the police had no way to make a record for us on the spot, so they could only ask the police officer to take us back to the police station first.
……
On this day, Meng Yifan and I have never stopped.
We first went to the police station and cooperated with the police to complete the transcript.
Originally, we could leave after making the transcript, but Mr. Hu refused to let us go.
He has two demands, one is to ask us to check out, and the other is to ask us to compensate him for the loss of 200,000 yuan.
The 200,000 yuan includes the renovation cost of the house, as well as the mental damage fee for him and his wife.
There is nothing to say about checking out, it is reasonable, the seller must return it to others, because it is a murderous house that is sold.
And we, as intermediaries, also have to refund the intermediary fees.
But for the loss of 200,000 yuan, Meng Yifan said that he would not compensate for anything, which is a lot of money after all.
The police have already completed the first round of investigation and preliminarily ruled out the suspicion of several of us, including Mr. Hu, so we have nothing to do with this case of hiding corpses.
As for the dispute between Mr. Hu and our store, it is a civil dispute, so the police transferred the dispute to the police station in the jurisdiction to deal with it.
So we just came out of the police station with the front foot, and the back foot went into the police station.
The police station gave us mediation all day, but nothing came out of mediation until dark.
The seller has now been summoned by the police, and once the seller has something to do with the body hiding case, it is not surprising that the buyer has to check out.
After coming out of the police station, Mr. Hu and his wife were still scolding us.
"You unscrupulous intermediaries wait!"
"Lao Tzu must sue you!"
"Tomorrow Lao Tzu will go to the court to sue you!"
Watching them get in the car and leave, Meng Yifan's face was so black that it couldn't be darker anymore, and the cigarettes were smoked one after another.
In fact, checking out is not much loss for us, even if the compensation is one or two thousand, this is all small money.
But we are afraid of a lawsuit, once a lawsuit is filed, for the people who do business, it is a matter of damaging reputation, this matter is very fatal, and it will be difficult for us to do business in the future.
"My grandfather used to tell me that people in our family are not suitable for business, and there will be accidents when doing business, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it."
Meng Yifan's face was extremely ugly, and he sighed: "Once this lawsuit starts, I will have to close one store." ”
I didn't know how to comfort him, so I just said let's take it one step at a time.
After a long day's work, we were both very tired, and we didn't plan to go back to the store, so we were going to go back to our respective homes first, and go back to have a good rest.
This case of hiding corpses has nothing to do with us, and as for the strangeness that Meng Yifan and I encountered in the house, it should be regarded as a nightmare.
The next thing we have to deal with is a lawsuit, and that's the most important thing.
When I got home, I felt the smell of corpses all over my body, and I felt disgusted, so I went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I fell asleep.
Sleeping in your own bed is comfortable, and you don't have to worry about something knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
I won't go to that house again in my life anyway, and it doesn't matter to me what is in it.
But things don't seem to be as simple as I thought.
I had already slept in my own house, but in the middle of the night, there was another knock on the door.
After two nights of strange things, I didn't lie in bed like before, but like a frightened bird, I was suddenly scared to wake up and sit up.
Since I woke up so quickly that my brain didn't react, I almost thought I was still in the master bedroom of that house.
But when I saw the layout of the room, I realized that I was in my own home.
But this didn't make me feel any better, but I was even more frightened, and quickly picked up the phone next to the pillow to look at it.
Twelve a.m. ......
It's twelve o'clock in the morning again!
The knocking outside continued, as if if I didn't open the door, she would keep knocking.
I froze on the bed, not daring to catch a breath.
What the hell is going on?
I'm already home, so why is there anyone knocking on my door?
Holding my phone, I tiptoed out of bed, opened the bedroom door, and made my way to the living room.
At this time, the knock on the door had become clearer and clearer in my ears, but I did not dare to go to the door again.
I had the courage to shout, "Who! ”
Outside the gate, a faint voice came in.
"I'm looking for Li Xiumei, is Li Xiumei at home?"
